Good Cop/Bad Cop
Lily slammed her hands on the desk, "It is unacceptable to skive off your duties! The next prefect to not show up, I'll deck! Don't think I won't! I'll also rip that badge right off, because clearly you don't deserve it! Now which one of you was supposed to be on patrol last night?!"
James started to pass round a plate of biscuits, "We understand if you've got something more important or you just forgot. Don't worry, it happens to everyone, alright? You won't get in trouble for a simple mistake, yeah? We just need to know to make sure everyone's alright and sorted for next week."
"No!" Lily reached over the desk and grabbed the plate of biscuits, "No snacks until we find out who decided to skive off their duty!"
James leaned over and whispered to Lily, "Can we switch yet?"
She nodded.
James instantly grabbed a biscuit and threw it on the ground, "If you don't own up this second then all of you are getting removed as prefects!"
Lily sighed, "Sorry about my partner, you won't all be getting removed. I trust you all greatly, and I'm sure whoever skived had a good excuse."
"We already know who it was!"
"No, we don't."
James nodded, "We do", he slowly walked forwards to one of the ravenclaw prefects in the year below, "You were listed for duty last night... and yet you never showed up! Admit it!"
The prefect leaned backwards, "I- I was there, I swear."
Lily smiled, "Of course you were, we trust you."
James kept his eyes squinted on the prefect as he mouthed, "No we don't."
A student in the back of the room lifted their arm up, "It was me, I was ill."
"Oh", James straightened up, "Well that's fine."
Lily nodded, "Just please tell one of us or get one of your roommates to tell us next time."
"Meeting over."
As the students filed out, James turned around to Lily and leaned over the desk she was sat at.
"Yes?"
"I can't believe you told someone else that you'd deck them, thought that was just an us thing."
Lily laughed, "I'm afraid not, I said it to Wilkes just last week."
James grinned, "You ever actually done it?"
"Last week."
"Hot."
"Punching someone is hot, is it?" Lily raised her eyebrows, "I don't think you should be condoning violence as head boy."
"I trust that he deserved it."
"Oh, he did... y'know we're going to have to clean up those biscuits now."
"I'll do it", James shrugged, grabbing his wand out its holster, "I'm brilliant at the sweeping charm."
"Showing off, are you?"
"You know me."
Lily grabbed his tie and pulled him for a quick kiss, "Hot."
